Face to Face Meetings

The active communication process starts immediately after you decide to entrust your project to Sibers. Two or more of our outsourcing development specialists will be involved in daily exchanges with you (and if necessary, your local team). A Sibers Project Manager will oversee the development process and act as a bridge between you and your Sibers outsourcing team. A Sibers Customer Care Manager will represent the business side of our partnership, and be readily available whenever you need to discuss general business issues related to your project.

In the initial project stages, we’ll likely rely heavily on your input. As we become more acquainted with your project and the level of control you prefer to retain, we’ll steadily increase the amount of suggestions and viable solutions from our end, in order to achieve the ideal outcome.

Regarding our approach, one of our clients said the following:

I’m old enough, and I don’t want to spend more time than necessary on product management. My Sibers team makes handling projects and product management easy, and enhances my ideas so well, that I almost don’t have to do anything. That makes me happy, as I can spend more time doing things that are important to me.

While we are strong supporters of secure remote communication via email and Skype, we believe there’s nothing better than live, face-to-face interaction. Being face-to-face helps eliminate uncertainty and facilitates new idea development, leading to a more fruitful collaboration.

For your convenience, we offer six options for meeting our team (or our representatives) in person:

1. On-site meeting in your office

If you want to meet on your home turf, no problem! We’ve visited clients in the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong and Singapore, and we have the passports to prove it. Plus, we’re always up for visiting a new location/city!

A face-to-face meeting on your premises not only helps both parties hone the project’s vision, but can also reveal other aspects of your business that could benefit from our collaboration.

2. Meeting our partners in the USA, Great Britain, Germany and Australia

If something urgent comes up, you can always arrange a same-day meeting with our conveniently-located partners in the USA (New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago), Great Britain (London), Germany (Hildesheim) and Australia (Sydney).

3. Meeting in visa-free countries

Another option is to meet Sibers in visa-free (or visa-on-arrival) countries like Turkey, Thailand and Singapore. Rather than rendezvousing in a formal office atmosphere, you can meet our professional managers and developers in a more exciting, more casual environment.

4. Visiting Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Amongst the visa-free countries, Kyrgyzstan stands apart. For this reason, one of our main development offices is situated in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan — a location where two thirds of the territory is covered with mountains and where the world’s second largest mountain lake, Issyk-Kul, is located. Doing business in a place where you’re surrounded by breathtaking nature and hospitable people — sounds pretty good, no?

5. Visiting Sibers in Novosibirsk, Russia

If you desire direct access to the specialists entrusted with your project, you can fly directly to Sibers’ headquarters in Novosibirsk, Russia. It goes without saying that this is a fantastic opportunity to discuss your project with the entire development team. And if you visit during the planning phase, we’ll be able to define the feature set and architecture in-person, and minimize all possible risks. This may sound like a time-consuming task, but in the long run it will drastically reduce the time you’ll have to spend on the project in the future.

Numerous visits from our European and American clients have proved the effectiveness of this option. Project comprehension and efficiency increases demonstrably, and excellent results are the norm.

If you’re concerned about visiting Russia, don’t be: a tourist visa takes just one week to obtain, and we’ll help you with all the required traveling papers. Plus, once you’re here, there are plenty of downtime activities to enjoy. Perhaps some fun in the Siberian woods would cap off a great first day!

6. Meeting in Moscow or Saint Petersburg, Russia

Saint Petersburg, Russia’s cultural center, and Moscow, its financial center, are probably the easiest Russian cities to visit due to the abundance of international flights. We have no doubt that the rich history, strong cultural heritage and lively nightlife found in these cities will inspire your discussions with our experts.

We continue to be very happy with Sibers. As the owner of a large manufacturing firm, for over 20 years I have worked closely with software development teams to reduce our operational costs and to make us Better, Faster, Cheaper, and Closer (with our business partners). Custom applications enable efficient workflows & close collaboration — which increases the responsiveness of our manufacturing operations — a key strategic advantage in dynamic markets with increasing demand variation. Sibers has served as our remote software development team since 2014. Their performance has been outstanding. The technical architecture of their applications follow industry standard best practices and their project management skills are comprehensive. I highly recommend them.
